It Sucks

I have not been looking forward to writing you this......but I don't have good news from today.

Luke and I went into the doctor this morning and had our ultrasound. There was no heart beat. The baby has not grown since the last time I was there. We lost the baby.

Like my dear friend Natalie said, "that wasn't supposed to happen...Everything was supposed to be Ok or you have more testing!" That is exactly how I feel......We were supposed to have a baby this time, I felt like this was "The Real Deal". Obviously God had different plans for us. All I can know is that we have been praying for a healthy baby, if this is God's way of protecting us from something other than a healthy baby, I can learn to accept that. It is hard right now, and we are sad, and definitely in shock still.

All I can say right now is, "it sucks!" That sums it up for now. We will make it through, but it sucks.
